They just promise pushes and then don�t give them. It�s even easier then putting in minimal work to give your talent hope.

And for a long time, and still true with UFC, they're really the only game in town at that level. Oh sorry, you want to practice your craft at the top level and want to be treated well? Guess you should go topple a monopoly.

i was at my in-laws and they have cable and everyone left me alone with the tv. there was nothing else on other than a repeat of smackdown and old episodes of king of the hill (the one where they travel to new orleans and Hank is trying to make a football throw to win a million dollars).

being a giant wrestling fan, i put on smackdown and it was right in the middle of the daniel bryan - jey uso match and i had to turn it off after 5 minutes. the way the show is shot makes you feel insane, the camera cuts feel schizophrenic, they happen for no reason and completely disorient you. and for the split second where the camera isn't cutting, it's zooming in and out. that coupled with the sterile dystopia of the thunderdome was so jarring and upsetting to watch. i like wrestling, i really like daniel bryan and jey uso, and i couldn't handle watching for more than 5 minutes.

but i did get to watch bobby hill being dressed like a new orleans dandy so at least i came out ahead

Watch Survivor Series �moments� become less and less meaningful over 15 minutes. In the last few years it turns hard into nostalgia, weird bullshit and great performances that were subsequently wasted.

# ? Nov 22, 2020 22:03

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

WWE's move toward moments being what matters is the same as Tyrion's "Stories" speech in showing they have no loving diea what they are doing or what actually is memorable and substantial.

None of those first few moments are that memorable and then we get poo poo like The Undertaker lowering from the rafter as a bat which is the funniest poo poo I've ever seen.

In conclusion: The Survivor Series was always lame.

Shane McMahon is a centrist, which is why his face always turns purple 3 seconds into any physical exertion.

Bravo sirrah and bravo to Comrade Shane O�Mac who believes all peoples, both Red and Blue are equals in the struggle against the capitalists who exploit them. If you listen carefully, you might hear his siren call for revolution. It sounds a bit like a manatee.

There's very few things I'd rather watch that King of the Hill reruns, and Smackdown is definitely not one of them.

Survivor Series Results 11/22:

Detailed Results here.
On the pre-show, the Gobbledy Gooker pinned R-Truth to become the new 24/7 Champion.
On the pre-show, Miz won the Dual Brand Battle Royal by eliminating Dominik Mysterio last. Mysterio thought he had won after eliminating Chad Gable, because Miz had been hiding. BIG E was not in this match.
The Raw Men's Team clean-swept the Smackdown Men's Team to win their Survivor Series match. The entire team celebrated on the same page for the first time since being formed.
The order of elimination was: Seth Rollins eliminated by Sheamus; Kevin Owens eliminated by AJ Styles; Baron Corbin eliminated by Matt Riddle; Otis eliminated by Braun Strowman; Jey Uso eliminated by Keith Lee.
Raw Tag Champions The Street Profits defeated Smackdown Tag Champions The New Day in a Champions vs. Champions match. BIG E accompanied New Day to the ring despite being on a different brand now. Both teams embraced after the match.
Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn was defeated by US Champion Bobby Lashley in a singles match.
Universal Champion Roman Reigns quietly told Jey Uso off for his failure earlier tonight.
Smackdown Women's Champion Sasha Banks defeated Raw Women's Champion Asuka in a singles match.
Akira Tozawa pinned The Gobbledy Gooker to win the 24/7 Championship, and was then pinned himself by R-Truth who regained the title.
The Raw Women's Team defeated the Smackdown Women's Team. Lana was the Sole Survivor.
The order of elimination was: Bayley eliminated by Peyton Royce; Peyton Royce eliminated by Nattie Neidhart; Nattie eliminated by Lacey Evans; Ruby Riott eliminated by Shayna Baszler; Lacey Evans eliminated by Liv Morgan; Liv Morgan eliminated by Nia Jax; Shayna disqualified for not breaking the hold on Bianca Belair when she was in the ropes; Bianca and Nia Jax both eliminated by countout.
Universal Champion Roman Reigns defeated WWE Champion Drew McIntyre by ref stoppage after choking him out following a ref bump, interference by Jey Uso, and a punch on the dick.
Roman and Jey embraced post-match on the entrance ramp.
Shane McMahon, Big Show, JBL, Jeff Hardy, Mick Foley, The Godfather, The Godwins, Savio Vega, Rikishi, Kevin Nash, Booker T, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Triple H and Kane came out to stand in the ring for a video package for the Undertaker. When the video package was over, they were all gone and Vince McMahon was in the ring.
Undertaker's theme played on a tesla coil or something but it sounded like a kid's casio keyboard with very old batteries in it.
Undertaker declared his time has come and it was time to rest in peace. He did the Undertaker pose and they played audio of Paul Bearer and put up a picture of him holding the urn. Piped chants played in for the empty arena during the promo, the GONG sounded and his theme played again.
Undertaker ended a 30-year-career by walking slowly up the ramp of an empty building as piped in audio played applause and chants of gratitude over the speakers. He did the arm lift then walked away as the show went off the air.

Watch me try to laugh this title off like the dickbag I am.
I also hang out with racists.

WWE absolutely still does do memorable moments but they are not memorable for good reasons. This thread gets plenty of streamable clips.

Things like the guy who shouted WRESTLEMANIA!!!! and then dove into absolutely nothing. The lady who pretended she was being attacked by bugs for a distraction roll-up and had to go on twitter after the show saying she would never fake a seizure because that would be lovely (thats true). The inexplicable cage dancers at Raw Underground.

I'd certainly consider them memorable moments because I can name them off without even knowing who the performers are.
